Family backgroundManuel V. Pangilinan came from a humble family tree who shares the same determination to achieving their dreams with a tedious stride up to the ladder of success. Born in July 14, 1946, Pangilinan also known as MVP is the second son of Mr. Dominador Pangilinan who had proven that a simple messenger can indeed become a president of a bank. Yes, his father started as a messenger at Philippine National Bank but retired as the president of Traders Royal Bank. This though is not the first success story in the Pangilinan family for his grandfather was actually just a simple public teacher in Pampanga and Tarlac who became a superintendent of public schools and eventually became the secretary of education Manny V. Pangilinan As a Student:

During his elementary years, MVP had ten centavos to buy a bottle of Coke, five centavos for crackers, another ten centavos to take the bus home from San Beda in Mendiola, which he made sure he wouldn’t lose, otherwise he would have walked home. In college, his weekly allowance at the Ateneo was P10, and that included his jeepney fares. MVP have a lot of classmates who have cars and others even have their own drivers. They were lucky. Someday, he said to himself, that he will reach all those. His scholarships in both San Beda and Ateneo were only his lucky charms. In late 1965, as MVP own graduation was approaching, he had come home from the Ateneo one Saturday afternoon, and spoke with his dad about taking an MBA in the States. He was met with silence, which meant there wasn’t enough money for an education abroad, that if he really wanted it, he had find a way himself. Fortunately, Procter & Gamble was offering a rare scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. It was a national competition. MVP entered-and won. For three generations of his family, life meant coping with challenges despite modest means, relying on God-given talent, hard work and a passionate determination to succeed.

II. Business Ventures

A professional managerThe second part of this journey. After two years in Philadelphia, MVP returned home, hopeful about landing a managerial position in a large company. He struck out at first bat. My benefactor, Procter & Gamble, turned down his application. So he ended up taking the first job he was offered, as executive assistant to the president at Phinma for P1,000 a month. “Without any job experience, we can’t be choosers, right? Grab the first decent job that comes your way, immerse yourself in work, and soon, you’ll find the right job, or it will find you”-MVP. After six years with Phinma, MVP decided to work abroad. There were the usual reasons: the glamor of being an expat in Hong Kong, the stifling staleness of his local career but, more importantly, He needed to find himself, to prove that he can stand on his own and succeed. The warmth of family ties, the comfort of an extended family system so embedded in our society were indeed beguiling, but he wanted to assert his independence. MVP was recruited by Bancom International, a Philippine investment bank based in Hong Kong. It was a stimulating experience to him. He learned the dynamics of international finance from his Chinese colleagues, not from the Filipino executives. Thereafter, he was seconded to a joint venture investment bank with American Express. He had expected to be appointed CEO of that new bank, but wasn’t. While disappointed and even depressed,...

...Famous Local and ForeignEntrepreneurs
Edgar Sia II
Down south in Iloilo city, he was once an obscure, down-to-earth businessman eking out a living.
He’s nicknamed "Injap," the combined first syllables of his parents’ ethnic origins – father is “intsik” (Chinese), while mother is Japanese, both entrepreneurs.
Instead of pursuing a business degree in college as desired by his parents, Sia took a course in architecture in college, but only to drop out later. Yes, he’s a school dropout.
Apparently bored by the daily routine of going to and from school, Sia tried his luck in business, a decision that proved to be the turning point of his life and career path.
At 20, he tried his hand in running various businesses, ranging from family-owned hotel to the ubiquitous laundry and photo developing shops.
Parking lot
Like any typical Ilonggo, Sia liked to dine out. His favorite food was the fried chicken served by fastfood chains Jollibee and McDonald’s.
But then, something was missing – the fried chicken looked and tasted too foreign, westernized. It didn’t suit the taste buds of typical Ilonggos or Pinoys.
Wanting to be different, Sia struck the idea of a homespun food outlet serving Filipino-style street fare in a restaurant-type setting.
He found an unoccupied 250 square meter spot in the parking lot of a popular mall in Iloilo city.
That space became the birth place of the...

Attendance Monitoring Using Keycard System.Aquilan (2004) made a comparable thesis on the automation of time attendance that records the time in and time out of every employee using Key card system.

Biography
Although his most famed works are the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City and the Statue of David, Michelangelo started like any other artist of the day, as an apprentice who would learn from great masters. But, these masters saw Michelangelo’s unmistakable genius in various art forms and knew early on that he would become the world’s most famed artists remembered and adored by future generations.
Michelangelo wasn’t impoverished. His father was a banker in Florence and made enough to support his family, their upper middle-class livelihoods, and his children’s education. After much debate, Michelangelo’s father allowed him to study art, but only after agreeing that if his first three-year apprenticeship didn’t work out, he would return to study so he could take over the family’s business.
The young Michelangelo first started his studies under Domencio Ghirlandajo. After only six months of study, Domencio stated that Michelangelo had surpassed him in his own art. After only one year, Michelangelo began his tutelage under the supervision of the magnificent Lorenzo de’ Medici, who funded Michelangelo’s pursuits. When de’ Medici was overthrown from government, Michelangelo had to search for other commissions that would financially support him. He had, over the years, been sending home money to his father who constantly asked him for financial help.
Moving to Bologna, he found work finishing the shrine of St. Dominic....

...degree competition between domestic and foreign product. Generally, the competition involves three distinct aspects such as the taste and preference, quality and price range.
Foreign and local brands are occupying the local market competitively. Customers’ preferences for both brands differ in some ways and one of it is the brand personality. Aaker, 1996 mentions that customers’ preferences are subject to the emphasis of brand personality. For example, consumers are much more exposed to international brands as these products are intensely advertised globally to make them more recognizable worldwide (Hsieh, 2004). As compared to local labels; which only limited in stores, foreign labels are way desirable. Other than that, customers’ preferences are subject to the location and environment where the products are available. Both local and foreign merchandises have specific places as where to get their products. For example, there are plenty of street stalls offering local foods meanwhile people will have to go to decent places for non-local ones. Customers who prefer more choices will most likely buy local ones. On the other hand, for those who are willing to spend a bit go for non-local ones because of the ambience plus it is more hygienic compared to street foods. Accessibility in which customers can reach...
